Financial services
Banks, super funds and insurers work in a world where trust is everything and compliance is always watching. We make leadership and culture pieces, customer stories and explainers that stay on message and on brand.
We film for Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and for PwC. Organisations where a line of copy has to clear a reviewer before anyone sees it.
In financial services the edit is not finished when it looks good. It is finished when compliance says so.
We plan for that from the start. We agree who reviews and when, so the review sits in the schedule instead of ambushing it. Disclaimers, on-screen text and any wording that might not clear are flagged early, and where a line is uncertain we record an alternate take on the day. Changing a word later then costs an edit, not a reshoot.
Two rounds of changes are included as standard, and we keep the project files so a wording change next quarter is quick.
People decide whether they believe a bank, a fund or an advice firm in the first few seconds. Polish alone does not do it.
We film in real offices, in natural light where we can, and we coach people just enough that they sound like themselves. No hype, no big claims, no music telling the viewer how to feel.
That approach suits leadership pieces, customer stories, adviser explainers and internal comms. It is also the reason the same footage tends to hold up for years rather than dating in a season.
Most video in this sector runs late for the same reason. The shoot and the edit were scheduled properly, and the review was not.
So we ask for it up front. Who reviews, in what order, and how long each of them realistically takes. That goes in the schedule as a dated step with a name against it, the same as the shoot day. If legal needs a week, the delivery date reflects a week.
It also changes what we film. Anything that looks like it could get pulled gets an alternate take on the day, so a compliance change costs a cut rather than a second shoot. Numbers, dates and product names go on screen as text rather than in the voice track, because text is quick to change and a spoken line is not.
The result is boring in the best way. The video arrives when we said, and the reviewer has already seen it.
Proof
Real jobs, with the full story behind each one.
Selected work
What we make
One team, end to end. Each of these has its own page if you want the detail.
How it runs
Built around sign-off, because that is what actually sets the date.
What the piece is for, who appears, and the full list of people who have to approve it. We quote a fixed price off that, with the review dates already in the schedule.
We agree wording that might not clear, and plan alternate takes for it. Disclaimers and on-screen text are settled before the shoot rather than after the edit.
Filmed in your offices, small crew, natural light where we can. Your people are coached just enough to sound like themselves, not performed.
First cut goes into Frame.io so every reviewer comments on the same version against the frame. Two rounds included, project files kept for later changes.
Where we film
The banks, funds and advice firms we film for sit across the CBD and the lower north shore. We come to you, and we travel Australia wide when a job needs it.
The honest comparison
Anyone can film a partner. Getting a line through a compliance reviewer without going back for a reshoot is the part that costs money.
| Zarco Creative | A general corporate crew | DIY or in-house | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built for the reviewer | Alternate takes recorded for any line that might not clear | One take, then a reshoot | You find out too late |
| Changing a line next quarter | Project files kept, so it is an edit | Usually starts again | Starts again |
| Rounds of changes | Two included as standard | Quoted per round | Your own time |
| Senior people on camera | A broadcast crew who settle nerves fast | Hit and miss | Hard to do yourself |
| Your time involved | Brief us once, we run it | You manage the crew | You manage everything |
I’m really relaxed. Even at events I’m not at, I’m not worried at all. It’s set and forget.
They make our attendees feel comfortable on camera, and find ways to maximise the content on the day.
I had a partner, not a supplier. They were truly part of the team, across a four day, five week event.
Good to know
We build it into the schedule rather than treating it as a surprise. We agree the reviewers and the review dates before the shoot, and we flag any wording that looks like it might not clear so you can settle it early.
That is normal and we plan for it. Two rounds of changes are included, and we record alternate takes on the day for any line that looks risky. We also keep the project files, so a later change is an edit rather than a reshoot.
Yes, and we usually prefer it. Your own space looks like you and it saves your people a trip. We bring our own lighting and sound, so a plain meeting room is enough to work with.
Yes. Send us the guidelines and any existing video before we start. We match type, colour and the way lower thirds and end frames are handled. The piece then sits next to the rest of your work rather than standing out from it.
You own the finished files, with no licence period and no usage fees. Raw footage is available as well, and we quote that separately because handing over a full shoot day of files is its own job.
Yes. Captions, transcripts and readable on-screen text are standard requests here and we build them into the quote. Tell us the standard you work to and we will meet it.
Yes, as a matter of course. Send yours with the brief. We also clear desks, screens and whiteboards before we roll, so nothing walks into shot that should not be there.
Two rounds of changes are included, and most sign-offs land inside that. Beyond it we quote the extra work up front so there is no surprise. Because we keep the project files, a change six months later is usually a small job rather than a new one.
